Hello,

One of my earliest memories is driving with my Grandfather in his car, one that would sound a loud buzzer when he went over 55 MPH. He hated that car (I don't think he kept it long). He would yell at the top of his lungs to SHUT UP!

Glad to be here, MOgirl

When they started making all cars with the buzzer to make you put a seatbelt on my father would sit on the seatbelt to shut the thing off rather than put it on. He hated wearing seatbelts.

My M3 has a programmable setting where I can tell it to beep at me when I pass a certain speed. I've found that setting it to 85 is reasonable as I really do want to know if I go above that speed - usually only when passing and for short periods of time.
